My White Hero (2 page)

“
Not yet. We can’t just leave Cynthia alone without any word,” she said. Taylor pulled away and looked at her.

“
By the way, what’s the deal with her not seeing anyone?” he asked. Desiree smiled sadly and sighed.

“
It’s a long story really. She was engaged to this gorgeous marine three years ago and he was about to enlist. So they said they would wait until he came back. But two months into his assignment, Cynthia got the news that he was one of the American MIAs and it’s been so long but she still won’t let go of the fact that he might never come back,” Desiree said sadly.

“
That’s really bad for her. I have been there and I can tell you for a fact that MIAs are simply lost causes. The government tries everything of course but they only have a twenty percent success rate,” he said just as Cynthia came back in.

“
So, the love birds are gone. What are these other love birds all hushed up about?” she asked as she began cleaning up.

“
Taylor wanted to leave but I talked him into staying here at least for tonight,” Desiree said quickly. Cynthia looked at her and smiled.

“
I know what you are trying to do sweetie and I appreciate it but honestly I am okay. You don’t need to look out for me every single day. I’m a big girl you know,” she said as she carried the empty beer bottles to the kitchen. Desiree felt a pang of guilt eat through her.

“
We just want to hang out here, Cynthia. Nothing more,” she said as she stood up to help her clean up.

“
Really?” Cynthia asked as she picked up the pizza boxes. “And it has nothing to do with the fact that tomorrow is the fifteenth?” she asked. Desiree shook her head.

“
It is?” she asked looking at Taylor. “I didn’t even l know what date it was. I swear,” she said.

“
What happens on the fifteenth?’ Taylor asked.

“
That was when Cynthia and her fiancé used to Skype. He only had access to the internet once a month while on active duty so he made it the fifteenth,” Desiree explained. Cynthia smiled.

“
Picasso has a very strict policy on timekeeping,” she said. Taylor stood up and looked at her.

“
Wait, Picasso? Freddy Lamas, tall guy, dark hair, blue eyes? That Picasso?” he asked as he walked towards them. Cynthia looked at Desiree and then at Taylor.

“
Yeah. You know him?” she asked full of hope in her voice. Taylor gave her a sad smile and nodded.

“
We served together once, in Baghdad. I didn’t know he was MIA,” he said. Cynthia looked at Desiree and hit her shoulder.

“
You told him?” she asked angrily. Desiree nodded and stepped away. There was no telling what a pissed off Cynthia was capable of. She looked at Cynthia apologetically and shook her head.

“
I’m sorry. He is part of my life now. I can’t keep any secrets from him,” she said. Cynthia looked at Taylor as a tear threatened to roll down her cheek.

“
Do you know where he is? Anything at all?” she asked as her voice quavered. Taylor shook his head.

“
I was already out of active duty when I got the news about his disappearance. Apparently it was a low risk mission, infiltrating an agency in one of the civilian villages. Something went wrong. One of our guys was captured and he broke, gave up all intelligence on missions,” he said as he walked towards her. “I’m sorry, I wish I knew more,” he said.

Cynthia looked at him as the tear finally rolled down her cheek. She shook her head and ran to her room.

“So, I’m guessing this time, I can’t even propose the sleepover,” he said.

“
I have to stay and make sure she is fine. It will be a while before I can go anywhere near her though,” Desiree said. Taylor walked up to her and held her close.

“
It’s fine. I’ll stay too,” he said.

“
I know this is not a very patriotic thing to say, but I’m glad you are not in the service anymore. I don’t know what I’d do if I ever lost you,” Desiree said. Taylor planted a kiss on the top of her head.

“
You don’t have to worry about that. You will never, ever lose me,” he said. Desiree smiled. She was happy she had Taylor but she also had to be there for Cynthia. Right now, here sister needed her like she had very many times before. She pulled away from Taylor and went on cleaning up. Right now, the only thing she could do was ensure Cynthia woke up to a clean house.

Desiree was worried when she woke up the next morning to find Cynthia’s bed made and Cynthia missing. She walked to the kitchen and noticed she had already made everyone breakfast: banana pancakes, bacon and coffee. She was just about to sit down and eat when she noticed an envelope on the refrigerator.

“
What the hell?”
she thought as she took the envelope. She could tell that the letter inside was from Cynthia judging by the handwriting.

Hi girls,

I’m sorry I had to say this here but I did not want to wake you up, and Rochelle, well, you are not even here right now. So, yesterday was a bit rough for me and Desiree I’m sorry for walking out on you. It was kind of a spur of the moment thing and I just had no idea what to do or say. So I need a time out just to clear my head. Don’t worry about me. I think I’ll just use the yoga retreat coupon I have had for ages. It’s about time I put it to good use. I love you guys, but right now, I just need some time away. I’ll call you when I get there.

XOXO

Desiree was still looking at the letter when Taylor walked into the kitchen.

“
Hey, what do you have there?” he asked.

“
Cynthia left. Something about a yoga retreat center,” she said without looking up.

“
What? I didn’t even know Cynthia did yoga,” Taylor said as he kissed Desiree’s cheek.

“
Oh she used to. It’s been a while since she last did,” she said looking worried. Taylor turned her around to face him and smiled.

“
Let me tell you something about grieving: everyone does it their own way. And if Cynthia has not done anything stupid in three years, she is not about to do it now. Just let her be. She‘ll come back when she is ready to, I promise,” he said. She looked into his eyes and smiled sadly.

“I just wish she had told me before leaving,” she said. Taylor pulled her close and ran his hand up and down her back.

“She’ll be fine and if she is not, I happen to have some very good friends in some awesome government security firms. I can have her traced in minutes,” he said. Desiree pulled away and looked up at him.

“I don’t know whether to be happy or be afraid of you,” she said. Taylor smiled and looked around.

“Is Rochelle back?” he asked. Desiree laughed.

“It is eight in the morning and she was drunk last night so, no. and I won’t expect to see her here till four in the afternoon at the very earliest,” she said. “Why? What did you have in mind?” she asked looking up at him. Taylor smiled and let his hands slide down to her ass.

“I never got some sugar last night and I would like some right now,” he said as he brought his head down to kiss her. Desiree laughed and pulled away slightly.

“Is that you or your morning wood talking?” she asked. Taylor shrugged.

“Whatever gets you there faster,” he said smiling down at her. She smiled as he began nibbling on her neck. She knew she shouldn’t indulge him, but there was a way he was playing his tongue on her earlobe that made her panties wet. She closed her eyes and let out a moan as he kissed her neck.

“Ericson, I hate you for this but I have two hours before work begins to call me. So what the hell,” she said. Taylor smiled and trailed his kiss around her neck to kiss her lips. She shivered and moaned as Taylor kissed her. He slipped a hand under her nightshirt and caressed her before lifting her in one swift sweep and placing her on the table. She pulled away from him and shook her head. “Cynthia made us breakfast. Not here,” she said in a rough whisper.

Taylor wasted no time. He took her in his arms and carried her to her room before dropping her gently on the unmade bed. She looked up at him as he climbed on the bed and positioned himself in between her legs.

“You are so beautiful,” he said in a whisper as he caressed her thigh. “Two hours huh?” he said as he looked at her. She nodded and smiled. “Then I will take this as slow as I have to,” he said before bringing his head down to slowly kiss her thighs. She closed her eyes and felt him as his warm lips softly met the skin on her thighs. She let out a moan when he spread her legs wide and looked at her. He smiled when he noticed the small wet patch on her crotch. He knew she was already wet just by the way he had lifted her and placed her on the table but now that they were in the comfort of the bedroom, she would have to wait a little longer. He was not yet done making her wet for him.

He pushed her t-shirt upward and looked at her beautiful breasts. She gasped when she felt his fingers brush her breasts lightly. He looked down at her and smiled. This was what he had been waiting for. She gasped again when she felt his hands cup each breast before beginning a kneading movement on them. He watched her as he rubbed her breasts softly and firmly, feeling her nipple pushing hard against his palm but he was not about to let her have all the fun. He brought his body lower until his lips hovered over her nipples. She breathed hard and fast as she felt the warmth of his lips on one nipple and then the other.

Suddenly without any warning, he took one nipple inside his hot mouth and sucked long and hard while he used his fingers to work on her other nipple. She could already feel his cock pressing hard against her panties but she knew that he was just getting started. He sucked for a few minutes before switching to take the other nipple inside his mouth. When he finally pulled away to look at her, he smiled and looked at her taut nipples. He then went on to kiss her navel, working his way down until he got to her panties. She got even wetter when he began pulling her panties down with his teeth. She raised her head to look at him just as he tossed her panties to the side. He looked at her and smiled. “Tell me what you want,” he said in a whisper.

“Make me yours,” she said panting. Taylor smiled and began kissing her thighs again. He would trail his tongue all the way near her pussy and then pull away making her want to cry out. He did this over and over until she began shivering. “Please don’t tease, baby,” she begged as she felt him exhale on her pussy.

He inhaled her sweet scent and looked at her inviting pussy before he finally gave in and began lapping at her inviting cunt. His tongue found her clitoris and began flicking away, making her hips jerk upwards involuntarily as she tried to lure his tongue into her. She gasped when he pulled away and put his hands on her hips to calm her before he went back to the task at hand. She sighed, moaned and gasped as she felt him kissing her pussy softly. He licked up her wetness, making her breath hard as she struggled not to cum. She let out a loud cry when she felt him insert a finger into her pussy and then begin to finger her hard and fast. She grabbed the bedding in her tiny hands as she tried to control the sheer ecstasy that was Taylor’s tongue on her clit and his finger inside her.

Suddenly she could not take it anymore. She cried out as he felt spurts of her hot fluid into his mouth. He held her down steady as he went on fingering her till she remained still. He pulled his finger out of her and lifted it to her lips. She parted her lips and sucked hungrily on his finger, tasting her salty juices on him. He looked down at her and smiled. She opened her eyes and looked into his eyes. She was determined to get her own way this time. She pulled him down and kissed him as she wrapped her legs firmly around his waist. She suddenly flipped him over so that she was on top and smiled.

“My turn,” she said as she began kissing his neck. She trailed her tongue down to his chest and playfully kissed each of his pecs before she went on kissing his navel. She stopped when she got to his sweat pants and then sat up as she pulled them off. She restrained herself from straddling him and riding him till kingdom come. For now, she was determined to make him feel the same thing she had just moments before. She began kissing his thighs as her small hand cupped her fingers around his shaft, making him shiver. She smiled when she heard him moan. She knew she had to work fast.

She began working her tongue on his bulbous head and flicked it around his opening till he could not help but gently work his hips up and down. She took this as an invitation and took his entire length inside her mouth. She knew he always loved it when she deep throated him. She sucked his length long and hard before she withdrew her lips and looked at the monstrous cock she had helped create. She smiled again and began to stroke him using her hand, slowly at first and then faster as she went on. She stroked him until she felt his cock get harder in her hand and in her mouth. She looked at him as she went on sucking him and stroking him, till her jaw almost went numb. She was not sure whether she wanted him to cum in her mouth but she did not want to break the magic either. She withdrew her mouth and went on stroking him until he came. She watched him as spurts of hot cum landed on his tummy and on her leg. When he was finally done, she looked at him and then took off her t-shirt. She used it to wipe her leg and clean him up before she took him inside her mouth again.
